This game had me feeling like its going to be 32+ years till Canada gets a Stanley Cup. Edmonton did almost everything right and lost 0-3. Bob is the clear advantage and X-Factor on a very even matchup. Skinner probably isnt capable of putting up a game where he's going to will this team to a win, but Bob clearly can.
Bob the Bandit strikes again!
Oilers have broken every elite and high flying acrobatic goalie in their 2024 playoff run. They will break Bobrovsky. Guaranteed!
Proof that Nurse and Ceci shouldn’t play together lol
Edmonton has the 4 players with the worst +/- in the whole Playoffs. Nurse is a -15. Edmonton's not winning this series.

Great unbiased take on the game. Hockey Guy
As an oiler fan i am still optimistic after this one. Bobrovsky was brilliant but i also think that if the oilers keep up the level they showed in this game they will win. There is a never a good time to lose a game but if you going to get goalied then its probably best to have it in game 1 than game 6 or 7. Plenty of hockey left in this series. Oilers do need to win game 2 now.
Defense wins Championships. Florida in 5 or 4 games
I’m betting on OT in game 2
Panthers winning would be dope I love the idea of teams who have never won getting it done and the excitement the fans experience winning the cup for the first time

Other than Nurse/Ceci/McDavid/Nuge/Hyman being on for the 2 non-empty net goals. First shot, first goal. Not good. They'll figure it out. Take care all.
Still think Oilers in 7.
Totally wrong. Oilers shot over net number of times.
So you're telling me there's a chance
the panthers dominated the oilers playing their worst game of the playoffs. this series is over in 5, maybe even 4.
Barkov really showed why he's the best player in the world in this game. Beautiful pass for the winning goal, and so many brilliant defensive plays. He's inevitable.
Goaltending Goaltending Goaltending
Oilers will win it in game #6 calling it
Don't care what anyone says. Nurse is overrated and way overpaid.
As an Oilers fan not worried and Bob had a great game but he still made some mistakes that if the Oilers burred them different outcome. Like some said it all came down to puck luck and the Oilers had none of that. And any Oilers fan who says either goal was Skinner is a bad Oilers fan.
sick jersey
Just give the panthers the cup at this point. So embarrassing how Canada has lost its own game.
The thing about the Oilers MO of try to play even 5v5 and dominate special teams does work if the special teams are dominant; however, when they are not its an issue. Both the Lightning and the Rangers have a similar style and it failed against Flordia. They could wake up like they did vs Dallas we will have to wait and see.
I think Paul Maurice will have the Panthers flying tomorrow. Oilers missed a great opportunity to snag a win on Florida ice
Why the mention of Dallas? Yeah, Skinner stole game 6. Everyone knew it. Everyone said it. But the Oilers still outplayed Dallas in the series. There's no guarantees, of course, but if the Oilers are dominating, they are more likely to win…just like they did 3 times. But anything can happen. Goalies get hot…
Crazy thing is Tchukuk hasn’t been the star as last year but the team is playing like a machine.
What happened last year? It seemed like Gary Bettman's Golden Knights easily solved Bobrovsky. Panthers seem much stronger this year.
The way to fluster Bobrovsky, is to get traffic in front of him, NON STOP! If the Panthers take exception they'll draw penalties. Then camp out in front on the PP. Get all in his face!
The Canucks won 2 of the 3 meetings vs.Florida this season, and Edmonton beat them in 7, so don't think the Oilers are a pushover. They outshot them 2 to 1, in the game. You don't lose many games when you outshoot your opponent by that margin.
It's seriously looking like Canada will have another team in the finals that comes up dry and not win the cup lol. As a Canadian, I don't have a REALLY strong preference but I'm still cheering for Florida in this series. Go Panthers!
The Oilers played better for 2 periods but as I've said, goaltending will be the difference. Skinny didn't play bad, it's just that Bob played better and that won't fare well for the Oilers. The Panthers played their worst game and still shut you out so how does that play out when the Panthers play their regular game? The Oilers are in trouble.
Its going to be a sweep. Rip Oilers
Oilers had 33 shots!
33 of those shots were on the ice….
Bob made 33 saves.
Wonder if that’s a coincidence?
McDavid needs step up now. If he is ever to be a Stanley Cup Champion. Now is the time.
Where was the great Barkov last year when they crumbled to the Knights ?
I doubt Florida plays that badly going forward. If Bob plays half as well as he did going forward my $ is on Panthers.
Go Cats! from a Met Div team fan
Florida team built defense first,they can chase the puck all night ….they will wear this Edmonton team down to a nub,those hit totals will keep adding up
I believe lots of similarities between bolts in their prime and the cats
